“Thank you” can not possibly express anything close to the gratitude we at Earth-Centered Spiritual Traditions feel about the fantastic services you have provided us. We will never be able to find the words sufficient to convey our respect and admiration for the work you have done for the recruits in basic training in the US Navy. Yesterday morning you spoke with us. Then in one amazing day you put a team of experts together to gather all the necessary information, analyze what we provided you along with the appropriate US Navy regulations, develop a plan of action to deal with the loss of the religious rights of hundreds of recruits each week, and implement the required actions to challenge the decisions made by a couple of US Navy officers to eliminate religious services for a whole list of minority religious groups and a few Christian groups as well. Your work is absolutely amazing. My head is still spinning from all that you accomplished yesterday.
Many of the recruits at Great Lakes will never know of all the hard work and dedication you put forward to protect all their rights to practice each one’s religion. You know that, and still all of you at MRFF don’t hold back one once of your time and effort and talent to protect them and their rights anyway. It is an honor and a pleasure working with the whole team you put together.
May all the blessings of this Universe gently shower you,
John Chantry, coordinator for Earth-Centered services
